BLA (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus) projects to BST (Bed nuclei of the stria terminalis)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: BLA neurons labelled by a Cre-dependent reporter after anterograde trans-synaptic Cre delivery to the PFC had axon terminals in the BNST, abundant in the anterior medial division (STMA) and only scattered in the dorsal lateral division (STLD).
